Damages for Psychiatric Injuries offers a critique of liability for psychiatric injury in Australia and England. Author Des Butler examines current day understandings of psychiatric medicine, evaluates the legitimacy of past and current approaches to limiting liability, and examines the policy considerations which promote such limits. Butler also analyses the recommendations of the 2002 Ipp Panel's Review of Negligence in Australia and resulting legislation. Succinct and readable, the book sets out a preferred approach to dealing with claims for psychiatric injuries, which recognises the scientific advances of recent times and reflects good legal reasoning.

Though mental harm can be profoundly disabling, the law imposes strict limits on who can recover damages for it. In the absence of physical injury, compensation is not normally available for negligently caused mental suffering, however severe, unless it constitutes a 'recognisable psychiatric illness'. Claimants whose mental trauma stems from injury caused to someone else are subject to arbitrary restrictive liability rules that dispense with established legal principles and cannot be reconciled with scientific advances. The book traces the history of civil liability for mental harm up to the present day. It is argued that the reluctance to provide redress reflects an enduring suspicion of intangible injury and undue fear of proliferating claims. The scale and legal ramifications of the Hillsborough disaster; the emergence of claims arising from work-related stress, and other new categories of claims based mainly on prior relationships between the parties, have all added to a 'floodgates fear' that has intensified due to popular perceptions of a 'compensation culture'. The book contrasts the limited scope for liability under English law with developments in several other jurisdictions. It is argued that statutory reform is needed to achieve greater legal coherence and to provide a remedy that tracks the impact and severity of harm and is not confined to psychiatric disorders. A new legal framework is offered, rooted in reasonable foreseeability of mental or emotional harm, with a liability threshold of 'moderate severity'. To allay concerns about proliferating claims, modifications to the compensatory regime for personal injury are proposed.

"This book unpacks in comprehensive detail every important aspect of its topic... (It) is and will remain for a long time a work of central importance on its topic in Australia and beyond." - From the Foreword, by the Honourable Robert S French, Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. This title explores the issue of tort liability for mental harm and renews the landmark work previously published as Mullany & Handford's Tort Liability Psychiatric Damage (in 1993 and 2006) It provides specialised consideration of negligence liability for what the Civil Liability Acts now refer to as mental harm, also described as 'psychiatric damage' or 'nervous shock'. It draws widely on the case law and refers in detail to the legislation across Australia to address key issues such as the kinds of mental harm for which a claim will lie, who may claim and in what circumstances. This third iteration of the title offers a comprehensive reference work covering the law in Australia. In the 21st century the law of torts in Australia has steadily diverged from other common law jurisdictions and followed an independent path. Accordingly, this edition concentrates primarily on Australian law while continuing to discuss the law in other common law jurisdictions where it is pertinent to Australian developments or when a useful contrast can be drawn.

Following on from a consultation paper published in August 2002 (Discussion paper 120, ISBN 0108880699), this report examines the law in Scotland relating to psychiatric injury caused by another person. It considers the existing law and its defects, and makes recommendations for its reform. It concentrates on cases where the act or omission of the wrongdoer gives rise to mental harm without causing any physical or other injury to the victim. Such claims can arise where people are caught up in serious incidents where they are emerge physically unscathed or where close relatives are killed or injured, or in accidents on roads or due to work-related stress. Recommendations include replacement of the current system of common law rules by a statutory obligation to make reparation for wrongfully caused mental harm. The report includes the text of the proposed draft Bill as an appendix, together with explanatory notes.
